Nice property and view keep to under 8 people

Sandy beach and level area, however beds are extremely hard and house has no air conditioning. Very few amenities so had to run out to buy basic items. Don't recommend for large group as house is more suitable for under 8 people

We've been taking our family up North for a many years and we sincerely enjoy this home! The water/beach area is so convenient for our small children to swim and play in. The cabin is well stocked and very family friendly!

Everything you need and more!

We really enjoyed staying here! First, the views. Wow! The sandy private beach and water and pier, very fun. The water was only a couple feet deep, great for floating in or cooling off your legs. Great views of both sunset and sunrise from the end of the dock. It was nice not having to bring up kayaks, everything was provided. The home has a great layout, with the living room on one side, and bedrooms on the other. No AC but plenty of fans. Plenty of blankets and towels provided as well. The kitchen was fully stocked, so many glasses and plates and silverware and pots and pans. The grill looked new and was great to cook on. We enjoyed eating outside on the patio but there was also plenty of space inside. We also appreciated the games provided. Make sure to bring your binoculars and camera, to watch all the eagles fly over! Briar’s hideaway had all the amenities of home.

Fun Family Lake Getaway

The lake is great for swimming and paddleboarding/kayaking, didn’t have any luck with fishing though. If you’re looking for a relaxing spot to be in the water, read and enjoy the view this place hits the mark. Otherwise not much to do nearby.

Nice Cabin on the Lake

We enjoyed our stay here and would return. Were granted early check in but had already planned our trip around the 4pm check-in time so we weren't able to take advantage of that. Very sandy and shallow but I was able to get my Ranger 619 to the dock and secure it without getting in the water. Enough room to maneuver in the driveway with the boat trailer on. Great swimming area for kids, nice firepit, everything you'd need in the house including heat which unfortunately we ended up using even though it was the first weekend in Sept. What luck lol. The day we got here it was 40deg, the day we left 78deg. So pack accordingly. Close to a nice boat launch in Phelps, and The Great Escape bar and grille. Not far from Eagle River. Lots of board games. The water from the sink tasted just fine. First day here, the internet didn't work but the team resolved that within about 24 hrs. Due to that, we missed the first Packer game of the year (on Peacock only) and our kids didn't have internet to help occupy them during the massive cold front the first day or following morning. Once fixed the speed was plenty fast (around 20Mbps) to steam Netflix etc. As other reviews mentioned the bunk beds are squeaky, and although they are a nice size I wouldn't have an adult sleep in them. Smells a tad like dog urine or a musty cabin if that bothers you. Didn't affect us any as we have dogs but left them home. Overall no real complaints, just trying to be informative.

Terrific Place

First of all and having traveled a lot I can attest that there is no better place to be on earth than the north woods of Wisconsin in the summertime. Snowmobilers, cross country skiers and ice fisher people will say the same about winter. And of the 15 thousand lakes in Wisconsin, North Twin could be a poster child. Good fishing, great, safe beach for the kids (although I'd recommend water shoes cause we found a few hooks in the sand) a terrific bald eagle and loon show and I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of boat traffic. The house is comfy, well equipped, quiet setting and we'll be back.

Needs a few updates

We were disappointed that we couldn’t use the inside fireplace, the listing stated fire pit & fireplace, but there was a sign stated we couldn’t use. Also, we were uncomfortable about the outside cameras in use with our grandkids. There was a recirculating fan (through the furnace system) when that went on automatically, there was a rancid, disgusting fish smell coming through all the vents & we couldn’t stand to be in the house! While we appreciated the hand soap offered, the soap in the master bathroom was 9/10 water & barely any soap. I had to buy hand soap. Same with the provided dish soap, I took a picture of it, it had some substance stuck on the inside bottom. We were left with 4 rolls of toilet paper, 2 rolls of paper towels & 3 garbage bags for an entire week. We had to buy more of this as well. Also the water in the kitchen sink was backwards. The side listed hot water was cold & vice versa. We switched the stickers around so it would be okay for the next person - [ ]
